fujita seems to make the most hp

injen is always my favorite on other cars and is excelent quality and sound

aem and trd are the same, the bypass filter is nice but not very practical since you have to submerge the intake for it too work. Not muhc power gains and way way over priced.

all the k&n dynos ive seen lost power somewhere on the torque curve and didnt gain much power. I drove a car with one and it didnt sound as nice as the injen which sounds amazing and it was hitting something in thew engine compartment (firewall? fender?)

You're not going to pick up any noticable horsepower with any of them. Choose the one that you like the best lookswise and pricewise. Thats it

Exactly. No matter what they claim on their websites, they're all relatively the same as far as gains (and losses). So the real questions are which one looks the best and which one has the weakest brackets. K&N and Injen are the most popular, but they have the weakest mounting brackets in the bunch. AEM and TRD are not exactly the same, TRD is an [overpriced] AEM intake, but it includes a bypass valve, an older oiled filter, and doesn't carry any warranty. The newer AEM intakes include a new Dryflow filter and are a single tube inside the engine bay, so cutting would be required if you want a bypass valve. I have a few friends with Fujita intakes and so far haven't heard anything negative about them.

I hope this helps.
